Screenshot of a Tumblr post by nongunktional:

when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

to all the men out there not getting laid: try less hard to get laid and try more hard to be an enjoyable and relaxing presence

    This is a pretty stupid take. Just stupid. Not much to add to this.

    Much of my energy is spent trying to be an enjoyable presence and it god damn works as people seek my presence. Does this lead to sex? No, why would it?

    Being an enjoyable presence in order to get sex makes absolutely no sense.

        I mean, you really don’t even have to be that interesting, you just have to be non-repulsive and maybe a little bit compassionate and empathetic.

          Lol, exactly my point. But I agree that “male loneliness” doesn’t have to do with not getting laid. Idk what the person in the screenshot is talking about, I just found the last comment about trying to get laid funny.

        Making friends in order to get laid? Yeah no. I have female friends and thanks god i did not befriend them with any sexual intentions. It is kind of funny that people pretend there is some kind of strategy to having sex when its basically: Showing interest at an appropriate level and this interest getting returned. Not much more to it.
